Designed with our signature high quality contemporary finishes and renewable energies these new homes certainly appealed to all generations.

This theme is repeated throughout the property with 5 meters of sliding aluminium glass doors offering direct access to the patio and garden in addition to French doors with Juliet balcony to the master suite overlooking the fields beyond. The interior was further complemented with our signature high quality finishes and renewable energy systems.
